Mo's M5 refersh

The owner of this 2006 M5 E60 is a dear friend of mine and wanted to sell his car when he realised its the only 4 door sedan he owns. His current cars are a 2 door silverado and Lambo LP560-4 Spyder + the M5 E60.

So after i had delivered his Tubi Race exhaust for the LP we started talking about his car. Basically his car was incomplete (mods) and so I recommended a refresh. I recommended the following maintenance and mod items:

This car will look and feel like new once I'm done with it the following week. Most of the parts are here, just the lights and control arms should be here this week. I hope Mo will love his car once more and love the new found power and smoothness.

LOL Yeah tell me about the sand. My cars JB, Thats the main reason it doesnt get driven as much.

UPDATE:
BRUCE MIRANDA CABLES on the way, Should be thursday. Hopefully I can show you guys some work done on the car as the problem is the front control arms and some other parts SHOULD be in this week from the BMW dealership. Stay Tuned

Good to see you post up Brother. Thanks for filling in the missing parts, i knew i as missing some things. Update in a minute

Delivered some parts and then set about installing them with Allan (master tech):

Out with the Old Oem Air Filter....

In with the new AFE PRO DRY S replacement filters after cleaning the inside of the boxes and installing the RPi Block off plates....

Allan Installing the covers back after I got done cleaning the MAFs....

Charcoal Filters removed....
^These are actually installed in the top half of the OEM air intakes and restrict a lot of Air coming into the car.

Old Regular Tail lights out.....

New OEM LCI Tail lights installed....

The cables for the LCIs will be here in two days then I'll install them and show you guys the working tails. Also another thing I cam across was that the VIS trunk lid could not hold itself open due to the removal of OEM springs. Allan will find some softer springs and fit them to the trunk hinges so it opens like OEM but softer as this trunk is lighter. Also ordered the OEM inner trunk liner and we'll clean up the install on the trunk.

Also once the wheels are back from being refinished on Thursday we'll be able to move the car and replace the clutch and install the Eibach pro kit. Stay tuned for more updates very soon

Yes it is I have other priorites right now otherwise I would have bought an E60 M5 or 1M or VW R32 as my DD

So......working on this car makes me happy lol Just waiting for the bloody wheels to be ready so i can go ahead and start the clutch and springs job. Oh forgot I gotta do the tune too. Gona check to see this afternoon if the DME SW is up to date, if not will update it and then read it for EVOLVE

OEM DME UPDATE. Car needed to have at least 9 control modules updated because the SW was out of date....

EVOLVE TUNE Process started....

REVOZPORT CF Steering Wheel....

Bruce Miranda Cables installed....

OEM LCI Tails. Worked perfect as soon as I plugged in the Miranda cables....

20" DPE S15 Wheels refurbished....

Rain Sensor turned out to be faulty so its been ordered from the www.thebmwpartstore.com. Excellent guys to deal with. Ask for Mike.

Saturday we'll be doing the clutch install and Eibach pro kit. After that I'll be having some bits n pieces on the car painted till the rain sensor arrives as we cant update certain modules on the car if the rain sensor is faulty. Stay tuned.....

Maybe the owner can swap out his Evosport Headers for the ballin Evolve ones

Yeah Mate me too. I will speak to him about the EVOLVE headers after I've finished the car. This is because the objective of this project is not to replace already modded parts with more aftermarket parts but to repair and refresh. After all I have to work on his LP 560-4 too. LOL

I think Mo will like to do the EVOLVE headers and SS Race mufflers down the line.
